Sample Itinerary - private tour

Day 1: USA arrivals
expected in the early morning (assumed around 07.00hrs)

You will be met at the
airport by your guide who will take you to your accommodation, the Hotel Borg
in Reykjavik, explaining

the scenery along the way. The driver will remain at your disposal for the rest
of the morning and in the afternoon he will take you

to the first Game of Thrones filming location on this trip: Thingvellir
National Park, the stomping ground of the White Walkers.

Here you will have the opportunity to walk in the impressive rift between the
North American and Eurasian tectonic plates.

This is also the site of the original Althing, the oldest democratic parliament
in the world.

Day 2: Reykjavik – Akureyri – Myvatn

Early on your second
day, your guide will take you to the domestic airport in Reykjavik to catch a
45min flight north to Akureyri,

Iceland’s second largest city. For landing you will fly into Eyjafjördur, one
of the longest fjords in the country, surrounded by mountains

reaching 1500 m / 4921 ft. The Arctic Circle is only 60 km / 37.28 miles north
of this point.

From Akureyri your guide
will drive you to the second area of Game of Thrones filming locations, around
Myvatn, where the

majority of the scenes from North of the Wall were filmed. You will see the
beautiful Godafoss - the waterfall of the gods,

Hofdi – Milkwater River, Kalfastrond – where you will find the path of the men
from the Night watch and the camp of the Wildlings,

Grjotagja – the Cave where Jon Snow and Ygritte spent a romantic moment.

You will also have time
to take in the Dimmuborgir unique and towering lava formations and Hverir with
its sizzling and

bubbling sulphur mud pots. To add to your Game of Thrones knowledge, your guide
will tell you about the rich folklore

and stories of the hidden people and trolls.

This evening will be
enjoyed in the relaxed environment of the hotel Laxa by the lake Myvatn.

This area is famous for
its bird life, home to more species of ducks than any other place on earth.

Day 3: Myvatn - Husavik – Reykjavik

On this day you will
experience the astounding force of the Dettifoss waterfall, up close and
personal. Dettifoss is described as ‘the beast’ in contrast to the Godafoss
falls which are described as ‘the beauty’. Your guide will then drive you to
the north Atlantic coastline and on to Husavik. Husavik is the largest town in
the northeast, known as the whale capital of Iceland and for the first
settlement on the island. In the afternoon you will take a flight back to
Reykjavik and then drive to the Hotel Ranga resort located by one of Iceland's
finest salmon rivers, the East-Ranga River. Ranga boasts a gourmet restaurant
inspired by modern Nordic cuisine with a Mediterranean twist, using local and
seasonal ingredients.

Day 4: Ranga – Reynisfjara - Reykjavik

In the morning you will
set off south to see the sites of the Frostfangs. Your travel will take you
past the Solheimajokull glacier tongue extending down from its mother glacier,
Myrdalsjokull, Iceland's fourth largest glacier. Just west of this glacier is a
much smaller one (50 km² / 19.3 miles²) but probably the most known outside
Iceland, Eyjafjallajokull. On to the black sands of the Reynisfjara beach, you
will see puffins nested above some impressive basalt columns. Your guide will
tell you the legends behind other rock formations in the area.

For lunch on this day,
we will take you to a special cave where you can sit on benches with fur throws
and get a sense of what it might have been like in a Game of Thrones world,
albeit with a touch of our Nordic luxury.

During this trip
you will also stop at Seljalandsfoss and Skogafoss. Yes, more waterfalls, but
be prepared to be amazed at their magnificent uniqueness. There is a reason
Icelanders are so proud of their waterfalls. This time the car will be able to
stop close to the falls. Take some time to walk behind Seljalandsfoss and up to
the top of the last Skogafoss fall for a close experience.

Back to Ranga for an
early dinner and an early start to day 5.

Day 5: Ranga – Skaftafell – Fjalsarlon &
Jokulsarlon - Reykjavik

On this day you will
depart early, heading towards the Skaftafell glacier and National Park. Filming
of The Game of Thrones took place in often harsh winter conditions at this location.
With the help of crampons you will have the opportunity to do some light
walking on Svínafellsjokull – the calving glacier and scene from North of the
Wall (season 2). 45 minutes’ drive from Skaftafell, you will stop to take in
the amazing glacial lake of Fjalsarlon. You will also stop at Jokulsarlon where
you will see the ice floating out to sea. Blue and Crystal clear millenary
chunks of ice make for an unbelievable photo as they are washed up on the black
sands of the nearby beach. After the glacial lake visits you will head back to
Reykjavik for the night – Hotel Borg.

The glacial lagoon
Jokulsarlon was also a film location for the James Bond movie, Die another day.
